Hi... good evening. I have just read through your query. This report of occult blood being positive carries significance based on the kid's clinical condition.
If the kid is very dull lethargic or dehydrated then it suggests that it could be a acute bacillary dysentery or if the kid had been on antibiotics it could be antibiotic associated diarrhoea.
But at the same time if the kid is otherwise active and playing around then you need not worry about this occult blood being positive stool sample.
